EDO you expect to win in your dress

Annie Jenness- Miller, 10 e. 14th st.,
New York, editor of Dress.

"Why do you object to the present
styls~
ut is ungraoeful, deforming and in
jurioua"
do ladies generally support the re-
formf"
..Yes, very generally. Ny CORES
pondence is very heavy. Next to MIS-.
Oleveland's mine is said to be the larg-
est daily mail Of any woman's in the
United States, and from not only every
state in the Union but from almost every
country of Europe"
"Is the magazf 2, Dress, succeedingr'
every handsomely, indeed. Dress has
been published less than yee7, and I
am grstiied with reports from all over
the world of the acceptance by ladies in
the very highest rank, Of the reform
which Dress advocates"
Mrs. Miller is q very comedy woman
in appearance, and is very enthusiastic
in her dress reform agitation. As the
New York Graphic says: "She herself
is young and attractive, with figure 30
harmoniously developed as to suggest
strength, power and beauty"
The reform which she is urging with
30 much eloquenoe and grace seems to
be the coming one. Mrs. Jenness-Ail-
Ter hes the advantage of high social po-
sition, being of the same family With the
late Oliver Wendell Phillips, and the
poet, Oliver Wendell Holmes.
"It is in the fashionable world, Of
course, where all the styles are deter
mined, and where the change mast
Begin" she says.
"H~~ do you endure 90 much work
and keep 80 wel?"
II dress myself according to my own
ideas, and furthermore, give myself
the best of care and treatment. Six
years ago I was nearly exhausted from
my work of lecturing, writing, ETC."
"Indeed, you do not look like itnow."
mo, am not now. I am a perfectly
we'll woman and intend to remain so.
You see, I understand the laws of life
too we'll to be, or remain i'll, but strange
as it may seem for one to say who is op-
posed to medicines on general princi-
pies, If I find myself tired or feeling i'll,
I fly to the one single remedy which I
do endorse, and that is Warmers safe
cure, which gives new energy and vital
ity to all my powers. It is indeed what
I sometimes call my standby have
many opportunities to recommend it, and
embrace them gladly, because I know
that it is thoroughly reliable, and for
women especially effective. Indeed, 1
often find myself recommending it to my
friends as warmly as do my magazine,
or indeed my improved garments, and
this I would not do did I not personally
know OF it's virtues"
Mrs. Miller insists that all women can
and must be beautiful, and will be SO if
they follow her style Of dress and sell
treatment.
"Will you not state, briefly, in just
what your reform oonsists?"
"Oh, with pleasure! I propose q ier-
sey fitting garment to be worn next to
the body, making Of woman vision of
lovelinessp
IL Over this put cotton or linen
garment, of one piece, without bands or
binding, covering the entire body also.
III. "In place Of the petticoats, I
propose one complete body covering
garment called 'leglettes.'
~. "We abandon the corset entirely
az totally unfit for use, in it's common
form, and we substitute. therefor sup
pie supporting waist, and then We make
the outside gown as beautiful as artistic
skill and common sense can design"
Mrs. Miller's words of counsel, which
every woman should heed, will undoubt-
edly give to the women Of America some
new ideas upon subject 20 very near
to each of them.
